#65 looks to old to be a kitten =o)

looks like my cat, Wanderer

[GeronL]

some of us are just asking for the Dubya Police to burn down our dog houses...

[GeronL]

#210-- police dog training?? Seeing how well behaved the doggie recruits are?

[tgslTakoma]

Probably. I thought it was a fitting photo, with all those dogs' self-control being tested by the kitty boldly strutting past. (I'm thinking happy thoughts....)

[GeronL]

The cat was probably repeatedly saying to itself "Think happy thoughts... happy thoughts... think happy thoughts... hurry... think happy thoughts... hurry..."

Actually, I received that pic via email almost two years ago with this caption:

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil."

Very appropriate.

The courage of The Faithful (Rush Limbaugh included) displayed by ignoring this news and this thread is awesome to behold, and a real example to those of us who haven't yet learned the secret of ignorance!

Happy thought: The only threat to the security and sovereignty of my country is the one I'm told to feel threatened by. All other threats are illusory.

Whaddaya mean they'll default on the loan? That's a kitten stomping lie!

I am laughing so hard...wow, that was great, thank you!

[LTCJ]

Now I'm thinking happy thoughts about when the AWB arrives on his desk...

Preview of coming attractions:
Remove Feinstein rider from firearms liability bill (Assault Weapons Ban).

Believe, believe my son. Think; 'little green ducks and baby apples'!

Questions are such hateful things. It could be a kitten! Every cat was a kitten at one time. Just honor the inner kitten and be happy. ~8-O

[GeronL]

oommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......ooommmmmmmmmmm..

honor thy inner kitten.... yes sir

[petercooper]

kick the bastards out now!

Right! So we should make them look twice as foolish by having them owe us twice as much!

STRATEGERY, man!

How can I get him to make me look that foolish? My barn could use a new roof and some foundation work, I'd like to remodel my upstairs, and finish digging out my basement (I hate that crawl space, especially when I have to solder a radiator pipe that burst when the pipes froze because we couldn't afford heating oil).

For that matter, I wouldn't mind putting solar collectors on my roof, for hot water and electricity. A leased line to the telco would be nice, too. I'm waaaay beyond the distance that they'll ever supply DSL, and I'm getting fed up with modem-speed inet access.

Then there's the cars. "Mine" is a '79 Celica. Needs work, to put it lightly. Who knows? With enough work, maybe I could even drive it! Then there's "hers" (my wife's '93 Escort). It could use some help too. Like tires, for example. "Slick" may be OK for the Oral Office, but when the rubber meets the road, so to speak... "Ours", a '92 S10 pickup... well, it needs work too. Go figure. A tailgate, fenders, grill, and... or maybe a 55 gallon drum of Bondo?

What can I say? We didn't strike gold in the money department. Maybe if I had a working spine, heart, and major joints, I'd have done better. (Hell, I did do better before "life" caught up with me.)

So anyway, the banks aren't lining up at my door. So how can I get Bush to make me look like a f'n idiot, like he's doing to the UN?

[Don Joe]

PS: I'd like the same terms the UN is gonna get. You know, the kind that have payment schedules, interest, etc. written down on paper, but... well, does anyone really think the UN is going to repay that "loan"?

Just to play it safe, we should probably have the "bank" agree to pay me a hefty yearly "membership" fee, and then deduct my "repayments" from it.

Yeah, make me look like a fool, too. Give me that UN treatment.

I promise to take it like a man. You'll not hear a single complaint from me about it.
